This is a case designed by aphillippe for Thomas Baart's popular split keyboard, the Kyria.

STLs: https://social.thangs.com/m/58186

Specs

  • Tenting support using M5 bolts plus an additional 10-35 degrees with optional risers.
  • Supports low-profile keycaps (lowered section in front of thumb keys), which the official case struggles with.
  • Optional trackpad mount (removes access to one thumb key and visibility to the OLED).

Extras

  • raked keycaps for thumb keys
  • knob for rotary encoder

Printing

I printed using matt black PLA with a 0.6mm nozzle and 0.4mm layer height. I've only included files for the right side. If you want the left side, just mirror the files in your slicer.
